Absolutely!!!
This is Hyderabad LEF center prayer hall which is now become a "party hall" for Gnanakalanjiam and his family. It is not just a "party hall" but also a "guest house" for Gnanam's (rather his wife's) huge extended family. Who cooks, cleans and entertains these Gnanam family's state guests? That is an easy guess!!! The poor LEF believers. For LEF evangelists, the labor is not just cheap. It is absolutely free!!! A LEF evangelist who knows how to play the system in LEF gets many perks. In a place like Hyderabad the perks are- a palatial building not only for the evangelist's family to live but also to entertain his esteemed guests, round the clock watchmen, house keepers, cooks, drivers, cleaners...the list goes on and on.
Some evangelists like Gnanam think that they are just fortunate to be at the right place at the right time. These are the people who get to enjoy the fruits of their predecessors' hard work and ironically start acting like they deserve what they got even if what they got was through back stabbing. While I am writing this, I am pricked in my own conscience that my own father is used by LEF over and over again to take over the places from which Joshua Daniel drove people. I request the well meaning people who read this blog to say a prayer for my father so that he opens his eyes and sees the truth that he is being used as a pawn by these evil people before it is too late. Our only wish is that our father opens his eyes before he crosses over to the other side where no more amends can be made for mistakes and crimes committed. It is a crime that people like my dad are used to drive out people just when it is time for them to enjoy their hard work after they have toiled and worked hard to till the ground, plant the seeds, water and care for the plants to make them fruit bearing trees. Joshua Daniel the monster drove these people out at war footing and used a gullible person like my father as a "substitute evangelist." Gnanam was one such "substitute" who now became a full-time evangelist for Hyderabad center.
Here is a brief history that will explain how Gnanam and his family ended up in Hyderbad:
Late Mr. Jubilee Raj started LEF work in Hyderabad in the year 1965 and gave his sweat and blood for this work for 31 years. He finally called it quits after realizing that it was impossible to maneuver around this Daniel family's cheap politics. Then the 5 people elder team lead by the chief conspirator Kamala Paul (who is now completely out of her mind) was appointed to run this wealthy center (it was common knowledge that the income generated by Hyderabad center was more than what was generated by HQ itself). In a quick turn around of things, Kamala Paul (who spear headed the conspiracy against the late evangelist) herself fell a prey to the same kind of conspiracy that was spear headed by then a nobody, Suresh Marcus (now Suresh Marcus is the king maker in LEF). Once Kamala Paul was exiled, Lily Daniel systematically replaced Kamala Paul's supporters with her stooges. Gnanam, one such stooge was made the evangelist to Hyderabad center ironically after a brief stint by his father-in-law, professor Jobdas Daniel. Why did Mr. Jobdas have only a brief stint? That is another murky story. Mr. Jobdas, a widower, decided to marry a woman from Hyderabad LEF hostel who may be little older than his oldest daughter. This was more in line with N.T. Ramarao's (actor turned politician who was the chief minister of Andhra Pradesh) story. Just like N.T. Ramarao's, Mr. Jobdas's move to marry this woman was eventually justified as it is widely believed that none of Mr. Jobdas's children were willing to take care of him in his old age. Our Telugu readers should relate to this plot very well. Just like N.T. Ramarao was back stabbed by none other than his politically saavy son-in-law Chandrababu Naidu, Gnanam, the smooth operator also managed to win the spot to become Hyderabad "evangelist." In what was a boldly shameless move, Joshua Daniel replaced the father Mr. Jobdas with his daughter and son-in-law (Mrs & Mr. Gnanakalanjiam) !!! That in itself speaks volumes about how low Joshua Daniel could go and also how equally low Helen and her husband could go. How low is one willing to fall ethically in LEF? As low as to publicly tell the whole world that one has no qualms to grab the opportunity to become a "leader" of a place from which her own father is ridiculed and driven out!!! Makes one wonder if Joshua Daniel and LEF people learnt their ways from politicians or politicians learnt the tricks of the trade from charlatans like Joshua Daniel.
Now this Gnanam systematically drove all the old timers from Hyderabad and created his own little fiefdom. Why and how did Gnanam sideline the very people who built this work from the scratch standing along side the late evangelist who pioneered LEF work in Hyderabad? The primary reason was that one or more of these old timers' children married out side LEF. It is one of those draconian rules of LEF which Joshua Daniel used punitively to suppress people who in some way questioned and threatened his authority. Now this very same Gnanam, who used this draconian rule to drive out people from playing any important role in Hyderabad work turns around and uses Hyderabad prayer hall and center to host parties to Helen's siblings all of whom claim to have severed ties with LEF. Helen's older brother got both his sons married out of LEF but then Gnanam generously hosted them and even did some cake cutting ceremony for one of these sons and his wife in Hyderabad LEF prayer hall. Helen's older sister got her daughter married off to someone Joshua Daniel did not approve of and hence she and her husband were stripped off their roles from LEF. Now they are generously hosted in Hyderabad LEF center. Mr. Jobdas was humiliated and treated very badly by Joshua Daniel because Mr. Jobdas's daughter married a non-christian years ago. Some old timers might remember how Mr. Jobdas was made to cry on May retreat stage for failing to raise his children well. Now that woman and her sons are also treated to royalty at Hyderabad LEF center by the magnanimous hosts Gnanam and his wife, Helen. How is all this going unnoticed by Lily Daniel and her good for nothing son John Daniel? Did they re-write the rules in LEF after Joshua Daniel died? If they did, let them please announce the new rules so that the members of LEF congregation are not unnecessarily aggrieved. According to the old rule book of LEF, it was believed that a LEF evangelist and his family cannot allow their relatives into LEF centers, especially if they were not "converted" in LEF or if they officially cut ties with LEF. Hyderabad people (who have seen that neither the late evangelist nor his wife had any of their family members visit them while they were LEF evangelists in Hyderabad for 31 long years) are finding it hard to come to terms with LEF prayer hall being used as a "party hall" by Gnanam and his family.
We heard from Hyderabad people that one of the LEF members lost his temper seeing this Gnanam family's drama and blasted off Gnanam on a Saturday in front of many people who were there for the fasting prayer. Gnanam gloats that nobody can touch him as he claims that he has full support of "head quarters" and that Lily Daniel and John Daniel won't even entertain any complaints against Gnanam and his family. That may be true but what people like Gnanam don't understand is that if the local people become a thorn in the flesh, no big boss from the top can rescue people like Gnanam from constant pain and torture. Apparently this guy who was outraged with Gnanam's misuse of power confronted Gnanam on more than one thing. This outraged man took the chance to let people know how Gnanam was misusing the LEF prayer hall facilities to feed and entertain his relatives and how Gnanam fleeces money from even poor people when he goes on "house" visits. When people are angry and enraged, they will inadvertently bring out the truths. This man also let all the people know that Gnanam and his wife made LEF women to cook food in large quantities in the LEF center for engagement party of Helen's niece few years ago and for recent engagement party of her nephew (the son of Mr. Jobdas's daughter, who was the reason for all the humiliation that Mr. Jobdas was subjected to as she married a non-christian). Apparently this man told Gnanam that people in Hyderabad center are bored to tears with Gnanam's mind less preaching that goes on and on (the hearsay is that Gnanam rambles on a Sunday morning service for 1.5 hrs to 2 hrs). And that's not it. After this long Sunday service, Gnanam has "youth meeting" right after the main Sunday service. While these young people stay starved till 3 pm or so in the afternoon to get done with Gnanam's shows, Gnanam takes break between his shows to get a quick bite. This angry brother made use of this opportunity to question Gnanam's idiocy in having back to back Sunday services that leave the young people famished and starved.
It is rather heartening to see that people are revolting against the Daniel family stooges in many prominent centers in Andhra Pradesh. People of Vizag we hear are revolting against Yohanu and want him out of Vizag. Same thing with the people of Vijayawada who want Priyanath out of their hair. Now Hyderabad people are openly defying Gnanam. It will be interesting to see how John Daniel the LEF "President" is going to manage these revolts. Once these Daniel family appointed stooges are shown the door by local people, it will be matter of time before they will show the door to this trio team- Lily Daniel, John Daniel and Lydia Daniel. The day is not too far wherein LEF people will locally take control of LEF centers after kicking this Daniel family and their stooges out. Let us see in how many places will Lily Daniel fight legal battles to keep some of these pricey LEF properties in her wicked grip!!!
This is Hyderabad LEF center prayer hall which is now become a "party hall" for Gnanakalanjiam and his family. It is not just a "party hall" but also a "guest house" for Gnanam's (rather his wife's) huge extended family. Who cooks, cleans and entertains these Gnanam family's state guests?
